I badly overestimated my skills!

My timed mile was 6:40.  The first 800 was 3:14 (I couldn't see my watch after the first 400).  I didn't think I slowed down that much, but of course I did.  The third lap was the hardest.

I'm going to try again in a few weeks (a few Saturdays from now, since I will be racing the next few weekends).  Maybe doing it first thing in the morning will make me faster.  Maybe not.

At least I won my age division :)

And right after I typed this the first time, my oldest started throwing up in the toilet down here.  Awesome.  I actually thought I had food poisoning or something.  I guess not.  My hubby doesn't feel good either.

A 6:40 mile is clipping right along Tracy! Hope the barfing stops...

Yeah! You did it! 6:40 is nothing to sneeze at. Congratulations on winning your division. I won mine too!

I seriously wanted to die when my fast mile was over, but I'm thinking that maybe I should do it once/month or so as a fitness test.

Wow that is a great time...do you mean you underestimated? or are you unhappy with that time? b/c you could give it to me! I'll take anything under an 8....which I find funny to say now b/c last year I would take anything under a 9....

From Tracy on Tue, Nov 24, 2009 at 07:45:10 from 173.24.32.153

No, I thought I could be more around 6:20...silly me. Next time, I'm shooting for closer to 6:30.

Carolyn, we should race once a month. I'm game if you are. You should join us Aprils! (although seeapril, you probably have some other races coming up soon). I bet that you could be in the 7, April27!

Barfing went on for a while last night. Last time was at about 1. I think he's feeling a little better this morning, but he's still not going to school. Hubby's staying home too.

I'm trying! but my downfall is I'm not crazy about formal speed work...i like the MP miles on threshold...I may want to start on a trackworkout sort of speedwork...but i'm scared of puking...LOL

That mile is faster than I cold dream of. Nice job! Hope you are feeling okay, this being sick stuff is for the birds.
